    • Optics and Photonics
    • Materials Science
    • Spectroscopy

    Background:

    • Immersion gratings with high refractive index materials enhance infrared spectroscopy resolution.
    • Fabricating these gratings is challenging due to the brittle nature of infrared crystals.
    • Previous methods like anisotropic etching are limited to specific materials (e.g., Silicon).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the fabrication of a novel machined immersion grating.
    • To achieve high diffraction efficiency in an infrared spectroscopy device.
    • To demonstrate the viability of machining for fabricating complex grating structures in brittle crystals.

    Main Methods:

    • Machining of single-crystal Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CdZnTe).
    • Fabrication of a groove pattern suitable for high-resolution spectroscopy.
    • Characterization of diffraction efficiency using experimental methods.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully fabricated a machined immersion grating from single-crystal CdZnTe.
    • Achieved high diffraction efficiency, closely matching theoretical predictions from rigorous coupled-wave analysis.
    • Demonstrated a viable method for processing brittle infrared crystals for grating fabrication.

    Conclusions:

    • Machining is a feasible and effective technique for creating high-performance immersion gratings from brittle infrared crystals.
    • The developed CdZnTe immersion grating offers a powerful new tool for high-resolution infrared spectroscopy.
    • This work overcomes previous limitations in diffraction efficiency and material processing for immersion gratings.
